Just a plug that Craig Barratt -- the BackupPC creator -- has posted several detailed emails to the developers list ([email protected]) outlining the key design and feature changes that he is implementing in 4.x.
>From all appearances, 4.x is a *substantial* rewrite and includes many of the features and goodies that we have all been clamoring for particularly regarding getting rid of hard links and the challenges they cause in archiving the backups. There also seem to be several important extensions (e.g., extended attributes) and efficiency improvements. If anyone is interested in knowing what is in the pipeline and more importantly if anyone has comments or suggestions, now is probably the time to chime in before things get too fixed in stone. So I would suggest that you look at the archives of the developer list and/or subscribe to it to see the ongoing discussion. Craig is incredibly open and welcoming of inputs and feedback.
